why are you doing a PhD?

I have always been a curious person who likes to discover different cultures, meet new people and face new challenges. Ultimately scientific curiosity has led me to do a PhD and however little my contribution may be, I want to be one of the many people that help push the boundaries of human knowledge.

Other interests?

Volleyball, movies and Japanese culture.
